Derry<\/a> hosts Tyrone<\/a> in an all-Ulster<\/a> Division Two affair, as Ciar\u00e1n Meenagh and Malachy O\u2019Rourke\u2019s sides go head to head for their first win of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Tyrone were held to a draw against the Lilywhites of Kildare at home in the first round, with Ethan Jordan claiming the man of the match award after scoring 1-9 on his National Football League<\/a> debut.<\/p>\n

Derry fell to Meath at a soaked Croke Park<\/a> in what was the first competitive match of Ciar\u00e1n Meenagh\u2019s reign. The Oak Leafers struggled against the Leinster SFC finalists, who benefited from Jack Flynn\u2019s impressive shooting at GAA HQ.<\/p>\n

The last time these two played each other was in last year\u2019s National Football League Division One, when Malachy O\u2019Rourke started his Healy Park tenure with a win and started Padddy Tally down a path that would end with him leaving the Derry hotseat.<\/p>\n

\"Derry<\/a>\"Armagh<\/a><\/p>\n

Last season, these two Ulster powerhouses were relegated from Division One.<\/p>\n

Tyrone only missed out on a head-to-head record with neighbours Armagh<\/a>, however, Derry were struggling from the beginning, only managing a home draw with Galway<\/a> across Paddy Tally\u2019s first and only league campaign in charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LIVE Derry hosts Tyrone in an all-Ulster Division Two affair, as Ciar\u00e1n Meenagh and Malachy O\u2019Rourke\u2019s sides go…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[10417,9,10,152909,11795,18,13,14,6,19,17,11,12,20391,15,16,11303,5,7,8,29228],"class_list":["post-313960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-gaelic-football","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-celtic-park","tag-derry-gaa","tag-eire","tag-featured-news","tag-featurednews","tag-headlines","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-latest-news","tag-latestnews","tag-live","tag-main-news","tag-mainnews","tag-national-football-league","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-tyrone-gaa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115991949030272233","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
